Dear Stan,
While I actually like all the refactoring gobbly-gook and web
2.0-ishnsess, the sad truth is I like and understand Linux and open source
stuff and I don't understand the buzzword compliant stuff I get from my
boys in Redmond. This is clearly my loss...
eh...
Regards,
Flint

I suggest you both review all of the "awesome new features" that Visual
Studio 2008 came with, and that 2010 is supposed to have. Then walk around
and tout VIm/Emacs, and how their intellisense uses bayesian probability
based on github and similar projects to yours to not only provide a syntax
and error checking, but actually propose to refactor existing code into your
application.
void main(argv **wahtever)<tab>
INSTANTLY turns into a web2.0 croud sourced wikienhanced application. Lets
see your holy visual studio do that level of code completion.
Then fake demos on how VIm/Emacs can do the rest of what VS2010 can do, for
free, since 1990. They might be skeptical at first -- but they wont know
you are down right crazy until they get home.

How bout the KDE / Gnome thing, or the rpm / deb thing...

Well, you can always start an emacs vs. vi discussion in the hallway. Of
course that could also be tantamount to pulling a fire alarm . . .

Greetings Brian, Josh, and the rest of the List Lurkers,
Based upon the Vague vibe I am getting from I have signed up and intend
to
be there. I am particularly interested in REST as well as Josh's talk
on
Django. Could someone remember to bring my meds?
...or a Taser...
:^)

Just signed up. Actually, I'm interested in the Django talk and never
having
been to one of these, I am clueless as to the format of the
sessions.
I've not been to a Code Camp, either, but I imagine it'll be a pretty
standard low-ceremony "unconference" ? a big schedule matrix of
rooms/topics/times with lots of room for hallway conversation and
breaks
for coffee/lunch/snacks.
I assume you are planning on using Windows/IIS as the platform for
the
session
since it is a .net event.
Heh heh. Oh, hell no. ;)
Note that it is not a ".NET event", per se. While the Code Camps do
primarily come out of the .net user group scene, the event itself is
implicitly platform- and technology-agnostic by being explicitly
community-interest-driven.
http://www.thedevcommunity.org/codecamps/manifesto.aspx
So, no, I'll be presenting using emacs on my ubuntu-running EEE. :)
SNAP!! That IS good to hear, although I would have been interested to
see
someone give the django tour on a windows OS. Kinda like watching the
circus: I don't really want to do it myself, just want to see someone
else
pull it off.
At the same time, major kudos to the vt.net and BTV PHP folks who
have
been doing the organization. They're putting on a full-day,
completely
free, well sponsored, hard-core technical conference, with free food
and
swag, roping in speakers from mostly near and some far. It's shaping
up
to be pretty cool, and I hope it'll draw in a good number of technical
folks of all stripes from the state and region.
Yeah, have to agree with that, major kudos, looks very nice and thought
out! Lots of good stuff and I'll be keeping an eye on the session
listing
going forward. Secretly (or not) hoping there is time to check out all
the
things I am interested in:)
